“Existing at the intersection of the public, private, and philanthropic sectors, community foundations are well-positioned to develop local solutions to growing national challenges. That’s been the experience of the Lincoln Community Foundation with Lincoln Community Learning Centers (CLC) in Nebraska. The CLCs have developed a service-delivery model guided by the philosophy that schools and communities must work together to build strong families, healthier neighborhoods, and a brighter future for Lincoln. Originally piloted ten years ago in four schools, CLCs now exist in 25 schools, including all Title I elementary and middle schools and one Title I high school.”
